Black Bridge Back Paddock Blitz

01/06/2026

In lieu of the Black Bridge Back Paddock Blitz not happening this time round, and because your carcass is beautifully sculpted, we highly absolutely definitely recommend that you prick your ears up at the fact that:
Entries opened for this beast of a BYU today, just a quick paddle up the Tukituki in Waipukurau:
Giddy Up!

We are LIVE.
And how good wass that Lightning Crashes song by the band Live? Anyway, stay focused people.

Entries are open. Facts.

KINGS Backyard Ultra looked cool in the weekend. You could be cool like those cool people in October if you entered River-Run 2026.

📢 EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT:
👎 It's time to share that we won't be holding the Black Bridge Back Paddock Blitz this ANZAC Weekend.
💪Your support for the event has been incredible, and I know the format was exactly what you loved – challenging yet welcoming, with that brilliant mix of terrain.
⏳️ But between family and other community commitments, launching a new business, and not yet having firm permission from Hawke's Bay Regional Council to utilise their land, the timing just isn't right for April.
😞 I'm genuinely sorry to let you down.
👉 This isn't the end though – just a pause. When the time's right, we'll be back.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️Dan Evans and Matt Radford continue to fight the sleep monster, and have both just Blitzed through lap 21, having now completed 141km!
🫶They will be going for the full 24 hours, so if you're just ripping off your bedsheets, best you toddle down here and support these guys as the the earth completes a full 360° rotation.
🥶It's has been absolutely freeeezzzzing at Base, so bring your woolies!
